Group A:
Power and emotion
emotions resonate most powerfully from rigidly
held beliefs. Blind allegiance always
causes problems in the history of humankind.
The emotions of compassion, love, kindness,
consideration, openness are all on the more
expansive end of the spectrum (Shilling 2009)

group violence : the more fragile group
solidarity is, the more likely the group is to
respond with violence. ~ D Luc
community of feeling can occur that bring
people together
Because of the "division of labor" around a
collective emotion, different individuals feel
one or the other of these six depending upon
where they "stand" vis-a-vis a colletively
shared event. Even contrasting emotions
can be held by people around one event.
6 emotions around crisis:
-
Anger is from loss in status due to the action
of another
-
Fear is the result of a loss of power or
sometimes another's gain of power.
-
Sadness is induced by a permanent loss.
-
Joy is the product of increased status.
-
Guilt comes about when one has abused his power.
-
Shame is the result of acting in a manner that
is not worthy of status. ~Marianne M
- Which is
"deeper"? fear or anger? So what is
worse? Loss of power or loss of status?
- If increased status creates joy, what
emotion is the result of increased power?
